Abstract
Arsenic has been measured in food and food supplement Standard Reference Materials by neutron activation analysis for the purpose of value-assigning As mass fractions and assessing homogeneity. Instrumental neutron activation analysis (INAA) has been used to value assign As in candidate food supplement SRMs 3532 Calcium Supplement, and 3262 St. Johns Wort Aerial Part down to about 100 µg/kg as well as two additional candidate St. Johns Wort SRMs with As mass fractions
